Mocha Truffle Cookies
I might not drink coffee or tea, but I have no problem cooking with it. I found this recipe a few years ago, on the Cooking Light Bulletin Board. Not light in the least, now a few years later, it still is one of our favorite tried-and-true recipes. It can’t be simpler to make, and delivers packed flavor in a fudgy morsel. Enjoy!
